Well, the craftshow in the barn turned our awesome. It was a lot of fun. A little background about the barn craftshow. My sister-in-law (married to my farmer's brother) puts on this craftshow - for the last 4-5 falls. They bought the barn from my father - in -law a few years back. You see, when Mr. Farmer and I got married my brother-in-law and his family were already living in the same farm yard as my in-laws so we decided that we would live ACROSS the road from them. We had to start from scratch and make our own yard--at the time it was just a field. It has taken awhile to get from field to yard with a house and shop but we are getting there! Anyway, it was 32 degrees the day of the show---but that didn't stop the people from coming! We had over one thousand people show up. The people that get cold are the vendors (like me) but I had a propane heater this year and let me tell you--it was a life saver! Because of this heater I was able to enjoy chatting with people -- otherwise I would have been cold and miserable after sitting in the freezing temps for that long. Not only did I have a good time visiting with people I also sold a lot of stuff....so I am happy! The scents of the candles I made for the show are my biggest fall sellers: Hot Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Home for the Holidays, Candy Corn, Sugar Cookie, Harvest Spice, Pears & Berries, Black Cherry, Black Raspberry Vanilla and Spiced Cranberry. If you see anything you like-let me know....I may be having a fall online soon! :) Hope you have a great day and make sure you leave me a message too! You know how I love that! :)

What a fun thing and to hold it in a big old barn..very neat! Women love to shop at these kinds of things and the homemade goods are treasures for sure! You are an ambitious lady to make your own candles..they sound/smell wonderful!Come say hi :D

I can almost smell those candles from here. They sound delicious.There is a family that holds a barn craft sale a stones throw from me. I think she has three per year. I should ask her if she would like to add to her merchandise. Maybe rent out a space.....hmmmmm. I'll have to get over there.

looks like a fun show. You booth looks great. wish I could smell all those candles.. the candy corn sounds good and the cookie one! glad it went well for you. I would not have been able to stand the cold with out the heater.. I bet others were wishing that had brought on too!have a great night!vivian

I love craft shows and the fact that this one was held in a barn in a double plus! I would have spent the whole day walking and looking. Your booth looked spectacular and it's nice that you had your assistant, Little Farmchick, with you. Adored your display cabinet too. Glad it was a good day for you both. xxoo

And, that Barn...how perfect! I hope you get to have a SPRING Barn Fling too :D Why oh, why can't we just be neighbors...oh, wait I know...the weather in your neck of the woods would totally make me whine :D Praying this post brings LOTS of candle making your way!!! Sweet blessings!

About Me

I love living on the farm. I am a farmer's daughter and farmer's wife too! I am here to share our life on the farm as I know many people do not understand how hard our farmers and ranchers work. I love all things agriculture related. I also will be sharing recipes and any other thought I have. ;) I live with my husband and our three children on our 4th generation farm/ranching operation in North Dakota. We are blessed to raise our children on the farm and to be stewards of the land. I love cooking from scratch in the old fashion farmstyle way, gardening and crafting. We raise wheat, flax, soy beans and sunflowers on our farm.
I love when you visit and especially like when you leave me a comment.
I love making new friends and most certainly will pop over to visit you!
I have a home based business in which I make soy candles and other scented products. Check out my website. You will find the link on the right hand side of my column.
Thanks for stopping by...come back soon. :)
